Answer:

0.9 m,386.36 Hz

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of train,vs=32 m/s

Frequency of whistle,f0=350 Hz

We have to find the wavelength of sound and the frequency of heard by the listener in front of the locomotive.

Speed of sound=v=340 m/s

We know that the frequency of listener

f=f_0(\frac{v}{v-v_s})

Using the formula

f=350\times(\frac{340}{340-32})

f=386.36 Hz

Wavelength,\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Using the formula

\lambda=\frac{340}{386.36}=0.9 m

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy = 0.5(Mass)(Velocity2)

Kinetic energy= 0.5 × 10kg × (50m/s)2

Kinetic Energy = 5kg × 2500m/s

Kinetic energy = 125000 J ( Ans)

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
kramer

Answer:

12552 J or 3000 calories

Explanation:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat energy (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

For 50mL of water, there are 50g, hence, m = 50g, c = 4.184 J/g°C, initial temperature = 0°C, final temperature = 60°C.

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 50 × 4.184 × (60 - 0)

Q = 209.2 × 60

Q = 12552 J

Hence, the amount of heat energy used to heat the water is 12552 J or 3000 calories

Label these as balanced or unbalanced:
kvasek [131]

Answer:

  1. A book lying on a table  - Balanced force
  2. An airplane cruising in level flight  - Balanced
  3. A rock falling from a cliff  - Unbalanced force
  4. A bridge collapsing in an earthquake  -  Unbalanced force
  5. A man sitting on a park bench  - Balanced force
  6. A space shuttle taking off  - Unbalanced force
  7. A car maintaining a constant speed on a straight road  - Balanced force
  8. An airplane landing - Unbalanced force

Explanation:

Usually, one or more forces act on a body at an instant of time. When these forces acting on a body and bring the body in the equilibrium position, the force is said to be balanced. The unbalanced force changes the equilibrium state of the body.

As in the case of an airplane cruising in a level flight, the weight of the plane will be equal to the lift force and the thrust is equal to the drag. So the plane is experiencing a balanced force.
